19 Week Bumpdate

19 weeks (7)

How far along: 19 weeks!
Baby: Is the size of a Mango!
Total Weight Gained: Up another pound this week. So 3.5lbs, unofficially. I will know for sure when I go to my doc on Friday.
Sleep: :/ I want so badly to sleep on my back. It's already getting uncomfortable switching sides all night. 
Maternity Clothes: I wear maternity pants and capri's on occasion when I'm not wearing stretchy waist stuff or I don't feel like trying to halfway zip the zipper on my regular jeans, but no maternity shirts yet.
Best Moment of the Week: Jimmy finally feeling little one kick! 
Food Cravings: Anything cool and fresh...especially water with lots of squeezed lemon, fruits, veges.
Aversions: steak, hotdogs, & shrimp. 
Symptoms: heartburn, indigestion, backaches, round ligament pain.
Movement: more constantly now! 
Gender: 3 days!!!!
What I miss: nothing right now- besides sleeping on my back
What I'm looking forward to: Thursday!! ...handsome baby boy or beautiful baby girl?
Weekly Wisdom: I have learned to cut up a lemon at the beginning of the week and take a baggy of slices to work to keep in the fridge for my water. I also do Crystal Light packets or MiO liquid.  I've never been one for plain water so these help me drink more. 
Milestones: Baby can now likely hear my voice and muffled outside noises! His/her brain and sensory development is exploding. 

19 weeks (8)

Easter Table

We had a wonderful celebration with Mr A's family on Sunday - what is better than Nonna's home cooked food followed by delicious coffee and desserts.

I put together a simple dessert table and made white tim tam cookie pops and fluffy meringues.  Mr A's lovely aunt sent over a huge and delicious tiramisu and my sister-in-law added her chocolate and custard tart - the perfect ending to a wonderful Easter Day.



Individual bags for the kids for easter egg hunting!


A vintage looking table with hyacinth, easter daisies and carnations.
I used little bottles, cake stands and domes on my table and made some simple little place setting tags which I wrapped with ribbon





The table with the addition of the tiramisu and custard tart.

Today we are enjoying an extra long weekend here in Australia - with easter being so late this year Easter Monday coincided with Anzac Day - so instead of enjoying Easter Monday on Monday we have commemorated Anzac Day on Monday and moved Easter Monday to Tuesday - more time for polishing off all those eggs!
